GDP-5H — INITIAL START-UP (ENGINE)

This section is intended to assist the operator with the

initial

start-up

of the portable generator. It is extremely important that

this section be read carefully before attempting to use the
generator in the field.

Before Starting the Engine

1. Be sure to

disconnect all electrical loads from the

generator

prior to starting the engine.

2. NEVER start the engine with the 60 or 180 Hz

circuit

breakers in the “ON" position. Place both circuit breakers
(Figure 11) in the OFF position.

2. Place the

choke lever

(Figure 13) in the "

CLOSED

" position

if starting a

cold

engine.
